What’s Happening on Main Street in August?

The Goffstown Main Street Program (GMSP) is proud to promote our Goffstown Historic Village Business District and all its vibrant mix of small businesses have to offer. GMSP wants to raise awareness about several nonprofits in and around the village working to make Goffstown a wonderful place to live, work, and play. In addition to our well-known community champions like the Goffstown Rotary Club, Lions Club, Historical Society, and Crispin’s House, there are a few hidden gems we’d love to spotlight:

1. UpReach Therapeutic Equestrian Center - UpReach empowers individuals with and without disabilities by connecting them with horses in a safe, inclusive, and supportive environment. Their programs aim to inspire hope, foster independence, and improve physical, emotional, and psychological well-being. Learn more at upreachtec.org

2. CERT (Community Emergency Response Team) - CERT plays a crucial role in disaster readiness and response, offering trained volunteers who assist during local emergencies. If you’ve attended a GMSP event, you’ve likely seen CERT in action managing traffic and ensuring safety. Learn more at goffstownnh.gov/568

3. Goffstown Friends of the Library - This dedicated nonprofit supports the Goffstown Public Library through fundraising and programs like year-round book sales, the Free Little Library, and museum passes available to all library card holders. Learn more: goffstownlibrary.com/266

We encourage you to visit the websites of any of the community champions mentioned above to learn more about their missions and consider donating your time or resources. Volunteers and community support are the lifeblood of these incredible organizations—and your involvement makes a real difference!
